Charging Policy

Education at Blanford Mere Primary School is, of course, free and parents are
not normally required to provide materials for lessons or other school
activities. In certain circumstances, however, the Governing Body may ask
parents to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost of day and
residential visits, activities requiring the use of costly consumable materials,
or on-site specialists organised by the school. No child will be excluded from
an activity if his/her parents fail to contribute. However, if sufficient
financial support is not promised, any activity may be cancelled.
